Trivia
Apart from a couple of second unit shots of Washington DC and one scene shot in a park, all filming took place on sound stages in Montreal, Canada, with extensive blue screen techniques used to create the "world" around each set where required.

Goofs
In the film, the president opens the passenger side window in his presidential limousine as to launch the missile launcher. In reality, the driver's window is the only one that can be opened partially. None of the windows in the passenger compartment can be opened for security and protection reasons.

Quotes
President Sawyer: Martin, as the President of the United States, this comes with the full weight, power and authority of my office. Fuck you.

a convoluted mess that's joyless and flat out dumb

White House Down offers very little that's new or interesting. It's a convoluted mess that's caught in no man's land. It takes itself far too seriously yet offers ridiculous action (ridiculous as in dumb, not as in wild or fun) and even more ridiculous characters. It wants to be taken seriously but functions in bizarre surroundings with a foolish plot. A calamity of underdeveloped ideas, half the film is flat out brain damaged and the other half is pure schlock. Do yourself a favor and avoid this dumb and actually boring farce.

This movie simply can't stand on its own as a film. Does often joyless, dark and dumb appeal to even the popcorn crowds? The rest of us want way more in our summer movies.
